Chapter 1031 Showing Weakness
"Grandpa, we are back."
Su Yan and Xiao Yi walked hand in hand into the main hall.
"Grandpa, have you been doing well lately?"
Xiao Yi stepped forward and greeted him.
"Haha, not bad, Xiaoyi, I want to see my granddaughter now, and I have to rely on you to some extent."
Su Dahai joked.
Seeing that Xiao Yi and the other man were in good condition, he felt a little relieved.
Xiao Yi was stunned. Wow, they are indeed father and son. Their tone is exactly the same.
"I...I am indeed too busy."
Su Yan explained that she was actually not feeling well recently and didn't want to come back and be noticed by Su Dahai.
"Grandpa knows."
Su Dahai nodded with a smile, of course he wouldn't expose anything.
"Come on, let's eat and talk. I haven't been this happy in many days."
Su Dahai held the two men on the left and right, and Su Mingyu could only follow behind silently.
In the restaurant, the four of them sat down, and Xiao Yi poured wine for Su Dahai and his son.
"Xiaoyi, I'm happy to know that you found your mother."
Su Mingyu said seriously.
“Yes, Xiaoyi, I didn’t expect that you are from the Xiao family.”
Su Dahai also spoke.
"I never thought that my last name was Xiao. It turns out that I took it from my mother."
Xiao Yi said.
Su Dahai and his son looked at each other and tacitly did not ask any more questions about Xiao Yi's father.
The few of them ate and chatted, and the topic included not only Xiao Yi but also Su Yan's company.
Xiao Yi and the other person were also quite relaxed; it really felt good to be home.
Su Dahai inevitably mentioned that he wanted to have a great-grandson, which made Su Yan feel a little embarrassed.
After dinner, Xiao Yi played a few games of chess with Su Dahai, which was very enjoyable.
It’s Su Mingyu who is always the one caught in the crossfire.
"Xiao Yi, you are good in every way, but when you play chess with me, you are a little lacking in respect for the elderly and the young."
After losing another game, Su Dahai said leisurely.
"What's wrong with you today? Not only do you want to regret your move, but you also want me to lose to you on purpose?"
Xiao Yile said.
"Hahaha."
Su Dahai laughed, he was just talking.
"If you want to win, you still have to find my father-in-law."
Xiao Yi lowered his voice, but it was still heard by Su Mingyu who was not far away, and the latter had a bad look on his face.
"Forget it, let's just lose happily."
Su Dahai shook his head.
"Grandpa, you don't really think that my father-in-law's chess skills have not improved, do you?"
Xiao Yi smiled.
Su Dahai was stunned. Come to think of it, Su Mingyu had obviously studied chess for a long time, but his level had not improved.
He originally thought that his son had not studied hard at all, but after Xiao Yi said this, he seemed to understand something.
Su Mingyu is showing weakness!
Doing this to others may be a kind of wisdom and a way of dealing with the world, but to him, it is a kind of filial piety.
As Xiao Yi, he could easily win against him, but as his son Su Mingyu, he couldn't be so unscrupulous.
"You kid..."
Su Dahai narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Girl, come on, go for a walk with grandpa."
Su Dahai looked at Su Yan, wanting to comfort his precious granddaughter.
Su Yan nodded and followed Su Dahai outside.
"You talk too much."
Su Mingyu was drinking tea by himself.
"I just feel a little sorry for you, father-in-law. You don't remember my kindness at all."
Xiao Yi sat down opposite Su Mingyu.
"What kind of grievance is that? One is my father and the other is my daughter. Why should I feel wronged?"
Su Mingyu said this and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yi.
"You really deserve it..."
Xiao Yi muttered in his heart but smiled on the surface.
"Stop cursing in your heart. Is there anything you dare not tell me?"
Su Mingyu said directly.
"It's not that I dare not say it, but after all, you are an elder."
Xiao Yi sipped his tea.
"You're going to have a showdown with Xiaoyan, right?"
"How did you know?"
"It seems you are lucky."
Su Mingyu did not answer Xiao Yi's question.
"No, it's not your luck. It's my daughter who has a broad mind and didn't kick you out of the house."
"Are you waiting to see the fun?"
Xiao Yi twitched the corner of his mouth.
"It is precisely because I understand my daughter that I know how much grievance she has digested in her heart that she is so calm. But in the final analysis, it is because you are worth it."
Su Mingyu said seriously.
"Father-in-law, you said before that once the truth comes out, you will stand by me and help me comfort Xiaoyan."
"Do you think I don't want to talk to her? You can see that over the years, the distance has widened."
Su Mingyu's words were obviously a little sad.
“Although it may not sound nice, I still want to say that you two are like two stubborn donkeys. You both want to get closer to each other, but you don’t actually take action.
Your actions some time ago have changed her opinion of you. As a father, can't you take the initiative? "
Xiao Yi complained.
"It's not the right time yet... I just want to..."
Su Mingyu hesitated.
"Don't think about it. Just say what you want to say. Aren't you afraid that you won't have the chance in the future?"
Xiao Yi said subconsciously.
"From what you said, it seems that you think I don't have many days left to live."
"...I mean, the distance will only get farther and farther, why not take a step forward together, just like my engagement, maybe I should have said it at the time..."
"That's different. If you say that, you might really be kicked out."
"Hmm... Hmm? Why is this involving me again?"
Xiao Yi was speechless.
"hehe."
Su Mingyu smiled and poured two cups of tea.
"Don't talk about timing. The situation has improved a lot. You have done enough. It's time to consider your relationship with your daughter. I will also help comfort Xiaoyan."
Xiao Yi said.
"Why do I feel like you are my father-in-law?"
Su Mingyu said.
Xiao Yi really wanted to say, "I don't want to have a son-in-law like you", but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips because he didn't want to be criticized.
"Okay, let's not talk about family matters anymore."
Su Mingyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is also one of the reasons why I came back tonight."
Xiao Yi put down the teacup with a serious face.
"What will happen in Taiping recently?"
"There is no movement at the moment, but it's too quiet. I always have a bad feeling."
"Are you worried that they are planning something big?"
"Well, there have been a lot of large official events in the country recently, but the security is all top-notch, so they shouldn't be looking for death."
"What else?"
"We found a small branch, but wiped it out. It's not a big deal. The key point is that all the clues right now indicate that the headquarters of the Taiping Society is not in the country."
"Not in the country?"
"Well, in other words, there is a headquarters in the country, but the real core of the Taiping Society behind it is outside."
"It's really better to be safe than sorry!"
Xiao Yi cursed.
"What country will that be in? Any directions?"
"Not yet. I infer that the domestic headquarters is most likely to be directly instructed by the headquarters outside. It should be easy to find the domestic one."
"How long do you think it will take to find this domestic headquarters?"
"It's hard to say. Many clues are temporarily lost now. They haven't made any moves recently, so it's even harder to find a solution."
"This is a bit troublesome. It's not right if there is movement, and it's not right if there is no movement..."
Xiao Yi frowned.
Su Mingyu nodded, picked up the tea and drank it slowly.
Not long after, Su Dahai and the other man came back.
"Xiao Yan, it's getting late, let's go back."
Xiao Yi stood up.
"Xiao Yi, I...I won't go back tonight."
Su Yan said.
"Not going back?"
Xiao Yi was startled.
"I want to stay home tonight."
Su Yan responded.
Not to mention Xiao Yi, even Su Dahai and his son were a little surprised, because Su Yan hadn't lived at home for a long time.
"Then I too..."
Xiao Yi was about to speak.
"You go back first and pick me up tomorrow morning."
Su Yan interrupted.
Xiao Yi frowned and suddenly understood something.
